Standing under my favorite willow tree in my favorite park, which we're fortunate to have in our backyard.
A stunning snow falls gently over our gorgeous city at nightfall...and for a moment, all is right with the world.
This is beauty. This is what love is. ❤

All around the globe women seem to be making quite a stir these days. The status quo has gotten so uncomfortable that women everywhere have begun to look a little closer at it all. We are beginning to see that the paradigms of the past will no longer serve our future and in that recognition are no longer able to passively participate in them. For centuries women have been following rules, for the most part made by men in power, that best served men in power. We’ve played small. We have been taught to seek the acceptance of others over the acceptance of self. We have been programmed with a narrowed definition of what it means to be good and then taught to shame those were not. But these days the goddess is rising within us and she is no longer asking to be respected, she is accepting nothing less. She does not need you to like her, because she is fuelled with self love. She does not need you to agree with her because she is governed by her own intuition. And she won’t stop spreading her truth, through reference and word because she remembers who she is and will never again forget. ❤️

Even at times when the world feels dark or troubled, there are gift boxes to pack. Heartfelt gifts. With carefully chosen words of love, appreciation, even rapture. It's a blessing of this business, to be privy to the love that exists among people. To be reminded how ubiquitous it really is. ❤️🐝
